ZRSENSE / 01

What it does.

01

ESP32-S3 host

Designed to host the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-S3 Sense module. The board and the module are sold separately by their makers — you can bring your own, or grab the bundle with one pre-installed.

02

Onboard camera

Camera streaming when the Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3 Sense module is installed. Zone Robotics does not manufacture the camera module — it comes from Seeed. Available as an add-on if you want it pre-programmed with ZROS.

03

RGB Symbol Array

12 addressable RGB LEDs arranged as a 3×4 array — vibrant status indication that can also draw simple symbols or emojis. Configured through ZROS.

04

Time-of-Flight support

VL53L5CX distance sensor over I²C — 64 measurement points across a field, from 2 to 400 cm each.

05

Servo + motor outputs

Dedicated pan/tilt servo headers and a DC motor connector on the back — steer a small vehicle from a single board.

06

Sense + interact

I²C expansion and UART breakout for sensors and peripherals, plus a laser diode output and bright headlight — sense the world and interact with it.
